Chapter 684



Justin’s grandpa didn’t make it to the hospital. When their neighbor helped them bring the old man to the city, he was already gone. It was devastating for the children and for the granny who was left behind. They have grown old together and have cared for the children together. Now, the other has left and it was heartbreaking.

Cayenne wanted to leave the school to see the children but she has two exams to take in the afternoon. She didn’t want to use her husband to pull strings for her again. He has done so much already and she didn’t want her classmates to think that she was abusing her connection.

Knowing how much Cayenne cared for the children, Stefan sent someone to take care of the funeral and everything else. Justin was allowed to take a break from work and go home as well. Since someone needed to take care of the food for the mourners, Stefan asked Lucia to go along with Justin.

In any case, they can take care of their own food at home if needed.

As soon as Cayenne finished her exam, she left the university with her bodyguards. Her classmates were wondering what made her run that fast but they didn’t have the time to ask her because she was gone in a few minutes. Stefan was already waiting for her outside the campus and they left together to visit Justin’s place.

“How’re the children doing?” she asked him before she could even give him her greeting kiss. Stefan didn’t answer her but pointed his finger at his cheek. Cayenne indulged this sulky bear and kissed him while fastening her seatbelt. “So, have you checked on them?”

.....

“Yes. Martin went there and helped them already. The children have been crying since last night. They only calmed down when they saw Justin come home.”

“Do you think we should send them to the orphanage now? I mean, none of the children is of legal age and it would be difficult for granny to take care of them all once Justin goes back to work.”

“Let’s discuss it with them once again before the child welfare gets wind of their situation. Also, I will have to leave for St. Martin tomorrow to negotiate with the mayor as well as the residents of the place that I was planning to develop. I need to keep the end of my bargain. I don’t want those criminals to come after us because I didn’t keep my word.”

“Don’t worry about me. I will stay at home and attend classes via zoom.”

When they reached Justin’s home, it wasn’t a lively place anymore. The children had puffy eyes and some were sleeping on the wooden floor with blankets covering them. They didn’t want to leave their grandpa alone. Chloe was sticking to Justin and wherever he goes, she followed him like a tail.

“Good evening, Miss Yen.” Justin greeted them when he saw them. “Have you eaten dinner? If not, you can eat in the kitchen. Auntie Lucia cooked food already.”

Cayenne nodded her head and gently pats the boy’s head. “You are strong Justin. Your grandpa must be very proud of you. His soul will surely rest in peace because he knew you are here.”

Justin had been holding back his tears since he arrived but because of Cayenne’s words, his tears burst out like a dam. He cried so hard and hugged Cayenne.

Stefan frowned when he saw that this young man was taking advantage of the situation to hug his wife. He wanted to pull him away from Cayenne but before he could do anything, Cayenne flicked his forehead. “Stop thinking nonsense.” She whispered but Stefan pouted in disagreement.

Realizing what he did, Justin pulled away and wiped his tears. “I’m sorry, Ms. Yen. I just couldn’t control myself.”

“It’s okay but you should try your best to calm your little wife behind you.”

Sure enough, Chloe was tearing up behind him. She didn’t like the fact that Justin showed his weak appearance to Cayenne but not to her. She didn’t want him to rely on someone else. Yet, what can she do? She was younger than him and she thought that she wasn’t reliable at all.

“Chloe.”

“I’m fine,” Chloe stated without hearing the rest of his words. She might be very young but she can understand things that adults talk about. Although a lot of people teased her as Justin’s little wife, she also knew that some of them would say otherwise – that Justin would surely find someone he can love one day. “I’ll go and help auntie Lucia to arrange the food.”

Chloe ran away and didn’t look back. She’s young and a lot of things can happen in the future. She didn’t even know if she’d live long to be his match.

Justin could only shake his head and prioritize the people who came to visit them. He didn’t think much of Chloe’s behavior because she can be a spoiled child sometimes. He led Cayenne and Stefan inside their house and they greeted his granny.

Cayenne didn’t open up about the orphanage yet because of the current situation but she has to tell the old woman as soon as possible to make sure that the children will be taken care of properly.

Their neighbors came to pay respect as well even though they were quite far from each other. Some of them were curious about Cayenne and Stefan’s appearance at the funeral since they didn’t know their connection to Justin. However, seeing the grim faces of the bodyguards, no one approached the couple to strike up a conversation.

The sad news didn’t end there. When Stefan left for St. Martin, he received a resignation email from Elena. He expected her to clear her mind and deal with her problem after the time off that he granted her. He didn’t expect that she’d choose to run away from it.

“I don’t want an employee who sends me a resignation through email. Come back to the office and talk to me.” Stefan sent the voicemail and closed his eyes. “When will all these problems stop coming into our lives? I want to marry her already.”

Tristan, who was driving the car for him, heard what Stefan said. He wanted to console his boss but he didn’t know how. He was also having the same issue and now his girlfriend is trying to run away from him.

After a few minutes of silence, both of them sighed deeply which surprised the bodyguard who boarded the passenger seat. [Thank God, I’m single.]
